Opis

Ordinary people not involved in romantic escapes or mysterious murders, ordinary, living every day routinely. Their lives are interesting because all lives are, and bizarre and different. A fact of life lived in the fast lane but never acknowledged. Behind and inside closed doors, ordinary people exist with extraordinary, distinctive lives that are funny, happy, ugly or sad, but distinctive. Ordinary people, out there, each involved in the daily struggle with family, work, health, politics, the greater world; A struggle to compete, get ahead, keep ahead, and keep from drowning. Getting up in the morning, a struggle. Could die. No guarantees. Could get fatally ill. No guarantees. Could lose everything. No guarantees. Always a struggle, marriage, childhood, old age, jobs, kids, a struggle to keep on existing. Dealing with it, some can, some cannot. Drinking, violence, anger, depression, the bad outcomes of some. Ordinary, people are not ordinary as they navigate through life and battle to relate. It's an effort to relate, to make relationships and keep them healthy. Mother-daughter, father-son, daughter-mother, husband-wife, boss-worker, etc., a wrong word, an improper action, and there's turmoil and dissolution. Relationships, casual, serious, relationships that are temporary alliances, relationships that are permanent and to the death. People relating, drawn together by chance in bonds that are fascinating. Problems in relationships with ordinary individuals. Pitfalls. Individuals, their daily lives, avoiding the pitfalls and the potholes, avoiding while dealing with the natural world and its hurricanes and monsoons and earthquakes and diseases, and crimes, and accidents and injustice and poverty and hunger. That's an ordinary life, and it's never that ordinary. The stories presented in this collection are not romanticized versions of life. They're not filled with canned adventure, or zombies, or love triangles with happy endings. Real life, it's filled with the drama of just living. That's the greatest drama. These tales represent that without pretending to be anything else
